Opening on Wednesday eve, AWAD member Elizabeth Garvey’s newest exhibition ‘The Nature of Nature’ features oil paintings by New Jersey-based painter Karl Hartman. With meticulous technique and a softly surreal quality, Hartman transforms familiar scenes into meditations on perception, wonder, and the delicate balance between humanity and the natural world.

The exhibition runs from 21 January to 27 February at DFN Projects, 41 East 57th Street, 11th Floor in New York City.
